LN-FOI 2 Lockheed L188C(F) Electra II Fred Olsen Air Transport MAN APR90

            Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 24-Nov-14.

First flown with the temporary Lockheed registration N9724C, it was originally to be registered ZK-BMP but that wasn't used and it was delivered to TEAL Tasman Empire Airways Ltd in Oct-59 as ZK-TEA.  TEAL was renamed Air New Zealand in Apr-65.  It was sold to California Airmotive Corporation in May-72 as N31231 and leased to Flamingo Airlines the following month, returning to California Airmotive in Nov-72.  The aircraft was converted to freighter standard in Dec-72 and sold to Fred Olsens Flyveselskap A/S (operating as Fred Olsen Air Transport) in Sep-73.  It served with Fred Olsen for a further 24 years until it was retired at Coventry, UK, in Aug-97 after Fred Olsen closed down their airline operation.  It was sold to World Aviation Services Inc in Dec-99 and registration N31231 was reserved but never taken up as the aircraft was found to have severe corrosion problems.  It remained at Coventry and was broken up there in late 2005.  The forward fuselage was sold to the Ferrymead Aeronautical Society (New Zealand) in early 2006 for display at the Ferrymead Historical Park and it was shipped to New Zealand in mid 2006.
